    I am just trying to determine what those are. Its obvious where the leak is coming from, but what is it? Sorry I do not know.

    Looks like the oil separate is leaking. You might be able to take it apart and clean it up. And see if that stops it from leaking or just replace it. They are pricey but once you replace it you will good for a good while

    Rob:
    I stated in the original post that is an 08 D16 with iShift. I am trying to figure out what those items are so that I can head to the dealer to order the correct parts. And if they're serviceable.And if there is any online info on servicing them.
    Thanks

    Top round case in the first two pictures is the crankcase filter, and it is a replace style item if I am not mistaken. I can’t really tell about the last picture from that angle.

    Shogun: I assumed that was some sort of filter..... So there is no disassembly/reassembly? And is there an internal filter that can be changed?

    It appears to be leaking around the seams where the bolt is, so I would try to tighten up. Since it’s green, it’s original, and the bolt has the paint scratched off, so someone has removed it in the past. Try tightening it down and see if that stops it because it is a very pricey filter. There are several gaskets and o rings inside and it can be taken apart,

    The third picture could be the air compressor, that’s the area it’s in. Search D13 crankcase filter or d13 crankcase separator on this site and you will get some decent info.

    This a D13 schematic of oil separator. I know they sell a seal kit for the separator. I would reseal or replace and clean up the oil trail and see if you really do have a leak near the air compressor.
